ed of oses!... Sitting here wasted and wounded At this old piano Trying hard to capture The moment this morning I don't know 'Cause a bottle of vodka Still lodged in my head And some blonde gave me nightmares Think that she's still in my bed As I dream about movies They won't make of me when I'm dead. With an ironclad fist I wake up And French kiss the morning While some marching band keeps It's own beat in my head While we're talking About all of the things that I long to believe About love and the truth and What you mean to me And the truth is baby you're all that I need. I want to lay you down in a bed of roses For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails Oh, I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is And lay you down on bed of roses. Well I'm so far away Eeach step that I take on my way home A king's ransom in dimes I give each night To see through this payphone Still I run out of time Or it's hard to get through Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you I just close my eyes and whisper, Baby blind love is true. I want to lay you down in a bed of roses For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails Oh, I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is And lay you down on bed of roses. Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry The barkeeper's wig's crooked and She's giving me the eye Well I might have said yeah But I laughed so hard I think I died. Ooh yeah Now as you close your eyes Knowing I'll be thinking about you While my mistress she calls me To stand in her spotlight again Tonight I won't be alone To know that don't Mean I'm not lonely, I've got nothing to prove For it's you that I'd die to defend. I want to lay you down in a bed of roses For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails Oh, I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is And lay you down .... I want to lay you down in a bed of roses For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is And lay you down... On ed of oses!... Bon Jovi, 1993

Little biography:

Original name, John Francis Bongiovi Jr.; born March 2, 1962, in Perth Amboy, NJ; son of John (a hairdresser) and Carol (a florist; maiden name, Sharkey)Bongiovi.

John Bongiovi formed Bon Jovi group (an American pop-metal band), recruiting not only Rashbaum, but also guitarist Dave Sabo, bassist Alec John Such, and drummer Tico Torres. Soon, Bon Jovi was the subject of a major-label bidding war, and the group -- or, according to some reports, just Bongiovi -- signed to Polygram/Mercury in 1983.

Bon Jovi's eponymous debut album was released in 1984, and "Runaway" became a Top 40 hit. Following its success, Tony Bongiovi sued the band, claiming he developed their successful sound; the group settled out of court. The following year, 7800 Fahrenheit was released and went gold.

The following year, Bon Jovi reunited to record their fifth album, Keep the Faith, which was released in the fall of 1992. While the album didn't match the blockbuster status of its predecessors, largely because musical tastes had shifted in the four years between New Jersey and Keep the Faith, it was nevertheless a big hit, and its more straightforward, anthemic sound produced the hit single "Bed of Roses." A hits collection, Cross Road, followed in 1994, and in the fall of 1995, they released These Days, which proved to be a bigger success in Europe than America.

After appearing in the 1996 film Moonlight and Valentino, Jon Bon Jovi released his first official solo album in the summer of 1997. Three years later, Bon Jovi regrouped and released Crush. "It's My Life" and "Thank You for Loving Me" were a chart hits and Bon Jovi's star power soared beyond their wildest dreams. Crush eventually went double platinum in the U.S. and sold eight million copies worldwide, but Bon Jovi stayed focus.

Within a year they returned with an eighth studio effort, Bounce, which appeared in fall 2002. In 2003 Bon Jovi re-recorded many of their most well-known songs for the release This Left Feels Right and followed it in 2004 with a DVD companion of the same title. ..
